This tropical plant adds a touch of sophistication and color to any indoor space, making it a popular choice for homes and offices. The Belize Rubber Plant is relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Plant Care:

• Lighting: Ficus elastica 'Belize' thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant leaf patterns. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but the variegation may fade, and growth may slow. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Watering: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. The Belize Rubber Plant prefers consistently moist soil but is prone to root rot if overwatered. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant's growth slows.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a mix formulated for indoor tropical plants. A peat-based mix with added perlite or sand can improve drainage.
• Pruning: Pruning is generally not necessary for Ficus elastica 'Belize,' but you can trim back any yellowing, damaged, or overly long leaves to maintain the plant's appearance. Regular pruning can also encourage bushier growth and help control the plant's size.
• Pests: Ficus elastica 'Belize' is generally resistant to pests but can occasionally attract spider mites, mealybugs, or scale. Inspect the plant regularly and treat infestations promptly with insecticide or neem oil.
